Mr. Lunt… Where have you gone?

In a very short time, we as town citizens have been shown just how good and honest Mr. Lunt was. Curt did not have to pay sixty thousand a year for an economic developer that only worked three days a week, nor did he blow the budget process and have to raise taxes. Let’s not forget, Curt did not have to out-source the tax bills, they were done in-house and only once, not twice.

When material was requested from our town, we were treated with respect and given information openly, not like some Gestapo. How long is this town council going to allow such a misfit town manager to impose his obvious mismanagement and unqualified actions toward this community before they stand up and eliminate his position?

The community holds this council responsible for such a terrible decision in their choice to bring him to our community knowing his past in other communities. Now town officials are trying to change the wording in ordinances in our town charter only to grant him, as well as the council, more power without the ability to control such ruthlessness. The people of this community had better remember this when voting whether to change the ordinances this voting season.

If you have any question about Mr. Eldridge’s past, check out what has gone on and what they are still dealing with in Rumford, and you decide if that’s what you want for your community. To quote Mr. Eldridge himself in an e-mail to a former Lisbon employee, he stated that “There was slime in that community.” Yes, but did Lisbon have to hire it?

This has been presented as an opinion of a Lisbon Concerned Citizen,
